“After acting, reflect on what you have done.
If you do not reflect, there is confused action.
The self has to find out wether the posture has been done well or not.”

B.K.S. Iyengar

The beauty of Savasana…

February 20, 2013

“Savasana is being without was, being without will be. It is being without anyone who is.”
Light on Life, B.K.S. Iyengar.

Savasana, or Corpse Pose, is one of the hardest to perform
as the physical body is meant to be as still as a corpse, yet the mind is kept passively active.

As we lie in Savasana, we focus on being present
without going into dreamland,
without sleeping,
without acting,
without achieving.
